The Greeks have a word for it

The Forum on Faith column which appears every Saturday is very informative. It allows your readers to enjoy the diversity and richness of the many faith communities in the Danbury area.

Thank you for printing my Forum on Faith column which appeared on Saturday, May 27.

I received many favorable comments. Thank you to all who expressed that they enjoyed reading it.

However, I wish to let the readers know that the headline I suggested read, "The Greeks have a word for it." The headline used by News-Times' editors read, "Don't have to be Greek to be Greek Orthodox."

Although that statement was in the column I wrote, it does not truly reflect the intent of the column. My point was to teach how important the Greek language was and is in understanding the Bible and church history.

The headline used by The News-Times gave the impression that I was encouraging people to become Greek Orthodox Christians. Although we do invite anyone who wishes to become an Orthodox Christian with open hearts and arms, that was not the intent of my column.
